Chapter 1149: Fighting

Lin Rui responded seriously to Star-Lord’s concerns. Without waiting for Star-Lord to say anything further, Lin Rui piloted his Iron Man suit toward the incoming black mist. Behind him, Iceman and Thor followed closely, but Dr. Banner didn’t join them.

Swish, Swish, Swish!

Lin Rui, at the forefront, swiftly emitted a deep azure light, upgrading to the pinnacle of his Training Technique. Despite having only a few minutes of recovery time, his internal energy had already recovered substantially.

Although the profound azure light emanating from Lin Rui carried immense energy, it was still far from sufficient compared to the overwhelming expanse of the black mist ahead.

Behind Lin Rui, two distinct powers had emerged. One was Thor’s thunderous strength, while the other was Iceman’s icy power. Thor’s thunderous strength and Iceman’s icy abilities were by no means inferior to the potent internal energy Lin Rui released. Moreover, Iceman’s icy power seemed to possess an endless quality.

“Bobby! Let us witness the might of a Level 5 Mutant’s power!” Feeling the much stronger icy power behind him than before, Lin Rui shouted loudly.

Boom!

Following this, Lin Rui engulfed in the deep azure light of his internal energy, plunged into the black mist ahead. Behind him, Thor, surrounded by purplish-blue thunder, and Bobby, emanating a frigid aura, also charged in.

As for Star-Lord and his team, after Lin Rui and the others charged into the mist, they too were enveloped by the spreading black fog. The last to be swallowed by the mist was Dr. Banner, who had remained motionless in place. As Banner was consumed by the mist, a faint sigh seemed to resonate through the vacuum of space.

The mist that had engulfed Lin Rui’s group continued to spread towards the battered Milano and Earth’s E Grade Spaceship, as though the individuals swallowed by it moments ago were of little consequence.

However, when the mist was merely meters away from the Milano and the nearby spaceship, a series of fluctuating energy explosions erupted within it. Subsequently, the black mist that Dormammu had extended haphazardly began to convulse violently, seemingly attempting to shake off the internal discomfort.

Pū!

After several intense convulsions, a section of the mist suddenly contracted, and a figure was forcibly expelled from it— Gamora! Gamora emerged from the mist with a dispirited expression, clearly bearing significant injuries. Despite her wounds, she gritted her teeth, seemingly determined to charge back into the mist.

Huff!

“Gamora! Don’t go back in. Leave the rest to Star-Lord’s team. Maybe this time, they can truly perform a miracle.” As Gamora rushed forward, her propulsion system suddenly malfunctioned. Then, she heard Rocket’s voice, tense yet filled with a kind of thrilled surprise.

“A miracle? Can they… really?” Hearing Rocket’s voice, Gamora stared at the constantly churning mist, radiating various energy glimmers within, and muttered to herself.

“Just believe in them this once. Earth truly is an amazing place!”

Huff!

Subsequently, Rocket remotely operated Gamora’s propulsion system, carrying her back to the interior of the Milano. She became the first to withdraw from the confrontation with Dormammu.

As Rocket brought the severely injured Gamora back to the Milano, the atmosphere inside the E Grade Spaceship became extremely tense. Although J.A.R.V.I.S. and those who had charged into the mist remained in communication, they could now only hear various explosive noises without clear signals.

Furthermore, of the initial four Iron Man suits, only the one Lin Rui wore remained intact. Dr. Banner’s suit was the first to rupture after being consumed by the mist. It was unclear whether the mist directly devoured it or if Hulk had broken free from the Iron Man suit’s restraints upon entering.

The second discarded Iron Man suit belonged to Iceman Bobby. According to J.A.R.V.I.S.’s analysis, Bobby’s original Iron Man suit seemed to have encountered a special condition and was no longer functioning normally.

Thor’s Iron Man suit exploded due to a sudden surge of electrical energy after reaching its maximum capacity. As a result, the suit shattered, and Thor charged out. Evidently, after unleashing their full strength, these three individuals could disregard the harsh cosmic environment.

In reality, thanks to the multiple upgrades made to the Phantom Suit, Lin Rui could survive in the cosmic environment without wearing an Iron Man suit. However, Lin Rui believed there was no need to abandon the suit.

Upon charging into the mist, he instantly released his new domain. Thanks to the powerful suppression of his domain, the mist was forcefully held at bay, unable to consume Lin Rui.

Swish, Swish, Swish!

On the large screen in the cockpit of the E Grade Spaceship, J.A.R.V.I.S. displayed data analyzing various energy levels within the mist. Seeing these data, the expressions of everyone in the cockpit reflected disbelief.

The energy levels had far exceeded the fourth level, nearly reaching the fifth level—a level of power capable of causing significant damage to Earth.

On this day, or rather, before they confronted Dormammu, neither Hulk nor Thor, who were both formidable in their own right, had demonstrated power sufficient to cause catastrophic destruction on Earth. However, this time, the four of them presented real data to Tony, Rogers, and others, revealing their true strength and growth.

“Phantom Knight is fine! They are all fine! Dormammu hasn’t been able to consume them!” Amid the shock that the energy levels caused in others, Peter, who was more concerned about Lin Rui’s safety, exclaimed loudly.

“J.A.R.V.I.S., has the Sorcerers appeared?” Despite Peter’s shout, Tony didn’t show relief on his face. Instead, he turned to J.A.R.V.I.S. and asked.

“Not yet, sir.” J.A.R.V.I.S., who was constantly monitoring the surrounding cosmic situation, quickly responded, though it was evidently not good news.

“Not yet? Jackson, have you really placed your trust in the wrong people this time?” Hearing J.A.R.V.I.S.’s response, Tony murmured, his brow tightly furrowed.

Before Lin Rui led Thor and the others out of the E Grade Spaceship, he had informed Tony that even if they could hold off Dormammu for a while, they wouldn’t be able to escape entirely. To face a creature of Dormammu’s caliber, they needed even more formidable individuals.
